Ramblings of a stationary nomad

We know our economy is stronger when our wives, mothers, and daughters can live their lives free from discrimination in the workplace, and free from the fear of domestic violence. Today, the Senate passed the Violence Against Women Act that Joe Biden originally wrote almost 20 years ago. I urge the House to do the same. And I ask this Congress to declare that women should earn a living equal to their efforts, and finally pass the Paycheck Fairness Act this year.

Good bye India

Our India trip comes to an end in a few hours. We don’t want to come back to the US. Mainly because we’ll both be going separate ways in Doha. I’ll be back in the quiet, lonely, big condo in Austin while Sujit goes back to long hours at work. Sigh!

Paradise Biryani! First date as a married couple.
